The Analyst
Josh Beck maintained an Overweight rating on Intuit and raised the price target from $300 to $305.
The Thesis
Intuit’s fourth-quarter beat was both broad-based and high quality, Beck said in a Thursday note. (See his track record here.)
The company reported total revenue of $994 million, representing 15% year-on-year growth and coming in higher than the Street estimate of $966 million. The non-GAAP EPS loss of 9 cents was better than the Street’s expected loss per share of 15 cents, the analyst said.
The Small Business and Self Employed segment generated revenue of $905 million, significantly higher than the Street estimate of $871.3 million. Online Ecosystem revenue grew 35%, backed by strong subscriber growth at QuickBooks.
